I’ve had this guy in a pot for years. We’re finally getting some fat juicy lemons off of it!

    How exciting!

    Not to diminish your accomplishment since growing fruit in containers is very difficult but for a Californian with hundreds of these that I never end up using this is a little funny.

      Lol, yes, I’m aware. I’m very jealous of what you’re able to grow out there. I’m in Georgia (zone 7b). I like the idea of growing something that I couldn’t normally grow here.

    My experience with my Meyer lemon tree (I didn’t plant it and am an atrocious caretaker - I’m sorry tree) is that the flavor varies by size. Big ones like what you’ve got are nice and juicy but less tart. For something like a cocktail or culinary acid (dressings, etc), you’ll probably want to pick them when they’re smaller. Have fun experimenting!
